Translate mortgage deed (sworn)

Certified mortgage deed translation

Let your mortgage deed translated under oath, from €59 per page. A mortgage deed is drawn up by a notary and contains the arrangements about your loan and the collateral. When you use this deed abroad, for example when buying property, a financial institution or foreign authority often asks for a sworn translationfor that purpose. At Ecrivus International you order that translation easily online.

What is a certified translation of a mortgage deed?

A sworn translation is a translation produced by a translator registered in the Dutch Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv). The translator provides the translation with a stamp, a signature and a statement confirming that the translation matches the original. These elements make the translation legally valid and accepted by notaries, banks and government authorities.

Why have a mortgage deed translated under oath?

The mortgage deed is a notarial document with legal consequences. An ordinary translation is not enough for official use, because the receiving authority wants certainty about the accuracy and the origin of the text. A sworn translator secures that certainty with the statement and the stamp. This prevents your translation from being rejected by the notary or the lender abroad. For use outside the Netherlands an apostille is sometimes also needed. It is issued by the court under the Apostille Convention (The Hague Convention, 1961).

Frequently asked questions about translating a mortgage deed

What does it cost to translate a mortgage deed under oath?

At Ecrivus International a sworn translation of your mortgage deed starts from €59. The final price depends on the number of pages and the language combination you select above.

How do I know whether a translator is sworn?

A sworn translator is entered in the Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv). You recognise a sworn translation by the statement, the signature and the stamp of the translator. All Ecrivus translators who handle your mortgage deed are sworn.

What are the rules for a sworn translation?

For a sworn translation the sworn translator attaches the translation to the original document or to a certified copy of it. The translator also declares that the translation matches the source text. This approach makes the document legally valid and accepted by authorities.

What is the difference between a regular and a certified translation?

An ordinary translation has no legal status. A sworn translation is produced by a translator registered in the Rbtv and contains a statement, a signature and a stamp, which makes it valid for official use with a notary, bank and government.

Do I also need an apostille for use abroad?

For use in countries that are party to the Apostille Convention (The Hague Convention, 1961), in addition to the sworn translation often a apostille is required. It is issued by the court. You can have your mortgage deed fitted with an apostille or legalisation.
